Take a Picture

If you really liked how some of your decorations looked this year, take a picture before you pack them up so that you don't waste time next year trying to remember what you did this year.  When it is time to decorate again, simply pull out the pictures, and you can easily see what worked well.  Also if you thought of something this season that would improve or simplify your decorating next year, write it down so that you will remember. Little things like this can decrease the amount of time and energy that you expend on these chores next year which should make the Christmas season more peaceful and less stressful.
